FC : You met many artists in South America, Asia ... what did you learned from it in the end? What is the encounter that moved you the most? S : Hard to say. Each trip impressed me and changed my way of painting. Each artist whom the feeling passed with brought me something, either aesthetically, conceptually or even spiritually. I learn every day by traveling. I would say that the most significant encounters have been with the Brazilian street art as a whole, which helped me to find my language, and popular Indian religious painting, which really brought down some personal wals and this great man Mono Gonzales, a Chilean muralist painter, whose philosophy and simplicity impressed me forever. I consider him today a bit like a spiritual father.
